Customers say: True professional

"I found Mr. Phelps very easy to communicate with and explain the work to be performed. His pricing was fair and the work done was very well done. Additionally, my wife who was present when the work was performed since I was out of town was very comfortable with Mr. Phelps and his helper. Both were very professional and did a thorough clean up upon completion. The best thing I can say is my wife is very happy with the completed work. I will definitely call on him again."

"I have been so impressed with Mr. Handyman--from the office staff, to the owner, to the repairman everyone I have worked with at this business has been phenomenal. If you are a homeowner you probably understand how difficult it is to find someone who is reliable to do quality work. Mr. Handyman is reliable, professional, and efficient. The work was done right the first time and we had no problem scheduling the work. When we needed additional repairs we chose Mr. Handyman right away and they got us on the schedule after just an email (I didn't have to follow up multiple times like I often do with other professionals). I cannot recommend them enough--Tim is a veteran and also offers military discounts."

"We needed a complete kitchen remodel and with this being the first major renovation of our home we had binder full of ideas on what we wanted the kitchen to be when finished. Frank came out listened intently to our ideas, suggested different options, and subsequently presented his proposal in a friendly, and professional manner. He was there every step along the way. We are 100% thrilled with our new kitchen and would highly recommend Frank to anyone."

"I consider it a great privilege to leave this review for RLC contracting. Rick and Linda Jenkins are true professionals and your satisfaction is their goal. We had them convert half of our garage into a laundry/utility room. With my husband and I getting older,we made some renovations to our home to enhance out ability to remain here for a long time. Our laundry was located in the garage and we had to schlep baskets up and down cement steps. It became apparent this wasn’t going to last too much longer. So we contacted Rick and Linda and they assisted us in the process of being able to “age in place”. Both are very knowledgeable in this area and were great resources. Rick was highly complimented by our local building inspector and Linda runs a tight ship. We were informed of each step of the process and the craftsmanship is outstanding. We love our new laundry room and with the COVID-19 we loved having a place to put extra supplies. Towards the end of that project, we approached them about building a deck on the back of the house. Again, flawless craftsmanship. And again, as the building inspector stood on the deck, he told me how impressed he was with the work that had been done. Yeah. It’s that good. We would not hesitate recommending RLC Contracting to anyone and would delight in the opportunities to do so. We are thrilled with our new room and the huge deck that now grace our home."

"The work performed by Mike Maintenance was phenomenal. They were professional, highly skilled and very flexible with time scheduling and management. They were very friendly and paid great respect to my townhouse and clean up. Even when problems arised with repair to an attached house fixture, they were able to analyze and solve it satisfactory. They explain everything upfront of what is needed to accomplish the work and what to expect when it's completed. I would highly recommended Mike Maintenance for your repair and installation needs."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts

A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.
